About Green Mountain Secure Retirement

A 2017 law authorized the creation of the Green Mountain Secure Retirement Plan, a voluntary Multiple Employer Plan (MEP) retirement option for Vermont self-employed individuals and employers of 50 employees or fewer that do not currently offer a retirement plan to their employees.

The law provides that the plan:

be easy and simple to understand;

administered to maximize cost effectiveness and efficiency;

easy to join;

administered with trustworthy oversight;

be consumer friendly;

portable for employees;

provide choice for individual subscribers;

voluntary;

help individuals improve their financial wellness;

encourage adequate savings for future needs;

not compete with existing private sector solutions; and

utilize pretax dollars.

State Treasurer Beth Pearce is holding a public hearing as the State begins the process of developing a savings option for self-employed individuals and Vermont employers.
